The real estate market is seeing notable developments in policy, housing supply and demand. For old apartment buildings constructed in 1994 or earlier, apartment owners may receive compensation in the form of housing, land or money when the buildings are demolished, but they are not allowed to contribute funds themselves to rebuild them. Residents’ ownership rights also do not automatically disappear when an apartment building reaches the end of its service life, while the legally defined service life of a building is at least 50 years. In Ho Chi Minh City, many homebuyers are willing to leave central areas to seek larger living spaces and more suitable prices in suburban areas and new urban developments. However, although supply in Ho Chi Minh City and many localities has increased sharply, primary housing prices remain high because product structures, development costs and profit expectations have not changed. Some affordable apartments have been discounted by several hundred million...

The real estate market is witnessing notable developments across several localities. From now until 2030, Bac Ninh aims to build, complete and put into use 72.62 million square meters of floor area, equivalent to approximately 511,600 commercial housing units. Meanwhile, in the affordable apartment segment, although many units have been discounted by several hundred million dong to as much as one billion dong after a two-year period of rapid price growth, transactions remain difficult because of buyers’ limited purchasing capacity. Experts say suitable prices, affordable products, flexible payment policies and the removal of legal obstacles are important factors in improving market liquidity. The demand for optimized living space is also reflected in small-apartment designs, such as a 27-square-meter apartment using an interconnected layout and multifunctional furniture, or a 43-square-meter house arranged to provide sufficient space for six people through the use of wooden box-like st...

Today’s real estate landscape features notable developments, ranging from efforts to improve liquidity and handle surplus land funds to the promotion of urban, resort and industrial projects. The Ministry of Finance has asked ministries, sectors and localities to accelerate the handling of surplus houses and land following restructuring, prevent them from being left unused and complete the process in 2026. From a market perspective, proposed solutions to improve liquidity include setting suitable selling prices, developing affordable products, applying flexible payment policies and removing legal obstacles. However, the profits of many listed real estate companies are rising mainly through transfers, divestments and financial income, while revenue from core business activities remains weak. Young people also continue to face three major barriers when seeking social housing: financial difficulties, limited information and complicated procedures. In addition, experts say it is necessary ...

The real estate market is seeing notable developments across policy, credit and business activity. In Ho Chi Minh City, outstanding loans for tourism and resort real estate reached approximately VND 30 trillion, accounting for a small share of total real estate credit in the city. The State Bank of Vietnam said additional lending for restaurants, hotels, tourism destinations, ecological projects and resorts would be excluded from this year’s real estate credit growth. On the policy front, the State Audit Office proposed increasing the proportion of owners’ equity and reducing the share of borrowed capital in projects, instead of the current 80-85% loan ratio, with the aim of helping lower housing prices. The Ministry of Construction also proposed seven groups eligible for priority access to rental housing policies, including people with two or more children. At the same time, it proposed removing the right of foreign organizations and individuals to purchase adjoining villas while reta...

The real estate market is seeing notable developments in policy, credit and liquidity. The State Audit Office has proposed increasing the proportion of equity and reducing credit funding in projects, instead of the current 80-85% borrowing level, in order to help lower housing prices. Meanwhile, the State Bank said additional credit for restaurants, hotels, tourism, ecological and resort projects will be excluded from this year's real estate credit growth. The Ministry of Construction has also proposed prioritizing rental housing policies for seven groups, including people with two or more children, while suggesting the removal of provisions allowing foreign organizations and individuals to buy villas and terraced houses, retaining the right to purchase apartments in the draft revised Housing Law. Experts also noted that regulations should clearly identify the party receiving interest and the party paying fees for an escrow account receiving 5% of the final value of the home record...

Vietnam’s real estate market is seeing notable developments in policy, land administration and housing supply. A fine of up to VND 60 million is prompting real estate brokers to complete their professional practice certificates, although some people have finished their courses for months without having an examination schedule. In the draft amended Housing Law, the Ministry of Construction has proposed removing the provision allowing foreign organizations and individuals to purchase villas and adjoining houses, while retaining ownership rights for apartments. In Ho Chi Minh City, nearly 9,400 hectares of land remained unused, including more than 4,700 hectares of land recovered by the State but not yet allocated or leased as of the end of 2025. The city has also requested shorter processing times for land-related applications, support for online submissions and an end to repeated returns of incomplete dossiers. In urban and infrastructure development, Hung Yen expects to complete more...

The real estate market is seeing a series of notable developments in major cities and areas with expanding infrastructure. In Hanoi, the first Takashimaya shopping center is expected to be located in Tay Ho Tay and may begin operations in the third quarter of 2027. Meanwhile, the Hanoi Department of Construction has proposed removing the regulation that limits the existence of buildings with time-limited construction permits to a maximum of five years. In the suburban area, 71 land plots in O Dien Commune were successfully sold for more than VND 374 billion in total, equivalent to an average of over VND 5.2 billion per plot.

At Sun Urban City, the cultural park spanning more than 36 hectares hosted a series of experiential activities on September 12 and is nearing completio...
